Narrative:

I received a message at XXXX local that a mr X of ZMA wanted to speak to me. He asked me why was I in an ADIZ without filing a DVFR flight plan. My response was that I did not know what he was talking about. He told me that oakbrook had me in that area at about XX15/XX30. I have no idea who oakbrook is. My student and I walked in and received a WX briefing from st petersburg flight service. We were told that there was a strong easterly flow coming across the center of the state due to a low pressure off the tip of florida and high pressure to the north that was located in the south eastern part of GA. Pie, tpa, lal, spg, were reporting visibilities between 7 and 15 mi, scattered layers between 700 and 1200 ft, and strong surface winds out of east. The winds aloft was forecasted to be out of the east at about 30 KTS and no NOTAMS that would effect us. We departed spg at about XX45 in a cessna 150 on a heading of 240 degrees and climbed up to 2500 ft through the scattered layers. I made a pilot report to spg tower that the bases were about 1100-1200 ft and the tops were 2000 ft. We continued a circling climb to 3000 ft through a clear area while we were over the gulf of mexico just off shore. We leveled off and began to do some basic flight maneuvers of turns, climbs, dscnts, straight and level, flight at minimum ctlable airspds, with and without flaps, steep turns and approach to stalls. I lost sight of land due to the fact that the scattered layers at that altitude looked like a solid overcast. I thought I was about 5-7 mi into the gulf where our practice area is. I was in excellent conditions to what we needed to do. At about XX30 I decided that we should head back to spg so as to arrive before XX00 am. We turned to a heading of 090 and began a descent from 3000 ft. As we were descending I noticed that the speed over the water was very slow, visibility was good except that forward visibilities were restr due to the scattered clouds making it difficult to see the shore line. When we reached 1500 ft I was now under the scattered layer and was able to see the shore line. I estimated my position to be about 5 mi from the shore line and 15 mi from spg. As we reached the shore line we made our call to spg tower. I was advised to report 2 mi west of the field on final to runway 6. We were given traffic information and asked if we would 'give way' for them. I 'rogered' that request and continued our approach. We landed, taxied to the tie down area, secured the aircraft and left the airport. During the entire flight I felt I was operating legally and safely.

Title: INSTRUCTOR WITH SPI CROSSES THE ADIZ DURING TRAINING.

Narrative: I RECEIVED A MESSAGE AT XXXX LCL THAT A MR X OF ZMA WANTED TO SPEAK TO ME. HE ASKED ME WHY WAS I IN AN ADIZ WITHOUT FILING A DVFR FLT PLAN. MY RESPONSE WAS THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE TOLD ME THAT OAKBROOK HAD ME IN THAT AREA AT ABOUT XX15/XX30. I HAVE NO IDEA WHO OAKBROOK IS. MY STUDENT AND I WALKED IN AND RECEIVED A WX BRIEFING FROM ST PETERSBURG FLT SVC. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A STRONG EASTERLY FLOW COMING ACROSS THE CTR OF THE STATE DUE TO A LOW PRESSURE OFF THE TIP OF FLORIDA AND HIGH PRESSURE TO THE N THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE S EASTERN PART OF GA. PIE, TPA, LAL, SPG, WERE RPTING VISIBILITIES BTWN 7 AND 15 MI, SCATTERED LAYERS BTWN 700 AND 1200 FT, AND STRONG SURFACE WINDS OUT OF E. THE WINDS ALOFT WAS FORECASTED TO BE OUT OF THE E AT ABOUT 30 KTS AND NO NOTAMS THAT WOULD EFFECT US. WE DEPARTED SPG AT ABOUT XX45 IN A CESSNA 150 ON A HDG OF 240 DEGS AND CLBED UP TO 2500 FT THROUGH THE SCATTERED LAYERS. I MADE A PLT RPT TO SPG TWR THAT THE BASES WERE ABOUT 1100-1200 FT AND THE TOPS WERE 2000 FT. WE CONTINUED A CIRCLING CLB TO 3000 FT THROUGH A CLR AREA WHILE WE WERE OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO JUST OFF SHORE. WE LEVELED OFF AND BEGAN TO DO SOME BASIC FLT MANEUVERS OF TURNS, CLBS, DSCNTS, STRAIGHT AND LEVEL, FLT AT MINIMUM CTLABLE AIRSPDS, WITH AND WITHOUT FLAPS, STEEP TURNS AND APCH TO STALLS. I LOST SIGHT OF LAND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SCATTERED LAYERS AT THAT ALT LOOKED LIKE A SOLID OVCST. I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT 5-7 MI INTO THE GULF WHERE OUR PRACTICE AREA IS. I WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITIONS TO WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO. AT ABOUT XX30 I DECIDED THAT WE SHOULD HEAD BACK TO SPG SO AS TO ARRIVE BEFORE XX00 AM. WE TURNED TO A HDG OF 090 AND BEGAN A DSCNT FROM 3000 FT. AS WE WERE DSNDING I NOTICED THAT THE SPD OVER THE WATER WAS VERY SLOW, VISIBILITY WAS GOOD EXCEPT THAT FORWARD VISIBILITIES WERE RESTR DUE TO THE SCATTERED CLOUDS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SHORE LINE. WHEN WE REACHED 1500 FT I WAS NOW UNDER THE SCATTERED LAYER AND WAS ABLE TO SEE THE SHORE LINE. I ESTIMATED MY POS TO BE ABOUT 5 MI FROM THE SHORE LINE AND 15 MI FROM SPG. AS WE REACHED THE SHORE LINE WE MADE OUR CALL TO SPG TWR. I WAS ADVISED TO RPT 2 MI W OF THE FIELD ON FINAL TO RWY 6. WE WERE GIVEN TFC INFO AND ASKED IF WE WOULD 'GIVE WAY' FOR THEM. I 'ROGERED' THAT REQUEST AND CONTINUED OUR APCH. WE LANDED, TAXIED TO THE TIE DOWN AREA, SECURED THE ACFT AND LEFT THE ARPT. DURING THE ENTIRE FLT I FELT I WAS OPERATING LEGALLY AND SAFELY.
